Hi, I’m Angela Coleman, founder of Keeper of the Books.

With more than 10 years’ experience in the financial industry, I became a registered Bookkeeper and BAS Agent before starting Keeper of the Books in 2018.

I genuinely love what I do, and payroll is a particular passion of mine. I enjoy helping business owners take the stress out of their bookkeeping and payroll, providing a personalised service that is tailored to the way their business operates.

One of the things I value most is keeping my business intentionally personal. I take pride in maintaining a workload I can manage effectively, allowing me to give each client the time, attention and support they deserve. This also means setting realistic expectations and being upfront about timelines — no overpromising and no disappearing when things get busy.

As an Associate in Practice with the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers, I’m committed to ongoing professional development and keeping up to date with the ever-changing financial requirements that businesses need to navigate.

I’m a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor and Xero Certified Associate, with both being my preferred cloud-based accounting platforms thanks to their user-friendly and cost-effective features. I’m also highly proficient in MYOB, allowing me to work with the software that best suits each individual business.

Mackay has been home for more than 30 years, and while I primarily provide remote bookkeeping services to clients across Australia, I’m also available for onsite support for local businesses.

At Keeper of the Books, it’s not about being the biggest — it’s about providing reliable, personalised support and doing the job properly.
